This episode made me feel like I was a young child again (being ceaselessly marketed tobacco products). Thanks I guess?

I remember seeing The New Norm posted wholesale by a trans ironyposter, and thought someone had just made an *incredibly* high effort shitpost

every F1 sponsor is the same thing as 40 years ago except 3 steps removed, it's hilarious 1980s: cigarettes, alcohol, computers, oil 2020s: tobacco byproduct consumables, energy drinks, software consultant firms, also oil

I guess the most credit I could possibly give Rubin on deciding to make The New Norm an "X, The Everything App" exclusive, is that he's not the first person to get that idea? WWE (somewhat surprisingly given the new management's commitment to shaking off the Vince Stink) signed a partnership deal with them in March for a weekly show with a 3 minute time limit gimmick, and set up a whole separate belt for it called the "WWE Speed Championship". I don't think they've ever displayed the belt in the regular TV shows, but they do mention it whenever the holder has a regular format match. No idea how successful this is since I'd have to go on Twitter to find out, but unlike with the least funny sitcom in existence, I guess I can see the appeal of a toilet break-sized dose of Sports Entertainment™️. They expanded it to add a women's league too in August, so apparently at least someone is watching. I guess when that site finally collapses they'll be able to get a better deal on a proven concept with Bluesky or whoever. I'd be fucking surprised if The New Norm outlives the site though, that has to be bottom feed even to the bottom feedees who sustain their cortisol levels on the daily wire's comedy offerings.

On the topic of that terrible new norm show, I have to plug the episode the It Could Happen Here podcast did dedicated to just that topic. They noticed that a large chunk of the episode is basically beat for beat of a bit from the Simpsons, just done way worse.

the political leaders quoting Taylor when confronted with a scandal thing actually happened in NSW recently. When the police commissioner had a tantrum after a Second Generation copper killed a TV presenter and his boyfriend and it looked for a couple days NSW coppers wouldn't get a float at madigra.

Tucker Carlson? You mean the boy who lives in the cupboard under Elon Musk’s stairs? Thank goodness he got accepted by _Durmstrang_, where all the other boys can see him for the most specialest golden boy that he is.

Minor correction! Milo’s talking about Fest, a Belorussian cigarette brand that actually gets quite a bit of import to the UK. The iconic thumbs down image is made better by the fact that the guy in question is shirtless down to his black skinny jeans, and the woman’s hand is immaculately manicured. It’s this kind of subtle visual storytelling that makes the Fest cigarette the thinking man’s choice. Because God knows it’s not the cigarettes themselves, those fuckers are half tar by mass. Wonderful throwback there, RETURN WITH A В

There's actually tobacco and non-tobacco nicotine Snus. The latter is way safer, as it's generally the plant stuff and not the nicotine that gives you cancer

A
Austin Owens · September 24, 2024

There are many carcinogenic elements to tobacco, but Nicotine itself is a precursor chemical (which is processed into a carcinogen in your body) to many of the carcinogens, including NNN and NNK. both of which are powerful mutagenics.
